It sounds like you at least need an internet connection at some point to get APTonCD set up.

Maybe a distro pre-configured with non-free multimedia software would suit you better.

I always use this method for getting codecs on my Mandriva system. works like a charm.

Same about the media content to play. You have to get the data from somewhere. Even a distro like Sabayon which includes the CODEC in the download.

There may be reasons why a particular machine is NOT to be connected, yet you do have access to downloaded data, somewhere or other.
